Even if its a small amount it will help with the car payment.<br /><br />Quite a few dealerships in Monmouth &amp; Ocean county are helping with car replacements for locals who lost their vehicles. I know Jim Curley Kia, the Lester Glen Group are two auto groups that may be able to assist with a deal on a new car. (Some of these dealerships were not directly affected by flooding so their cars are safe from water damage. I know it is highly unlikely they will donate a car but they may have some matching funds to reduce the overall cost.<br /><br />Personally I&#39;m working on trying to scratch up enough funds to replace my groceries.

Today, Kim and Max were again evacuated from their homes because of the Nor&#39;easter.

Kelly Blue Book values are not always followed either. I had an accident in my last car, which *almost* totaled it. I was lucky enough that the mechanic made the repair cost just within the limit of what insurance would cover - otherwise, I would&#39;ve gotten the car&#39;s value - which wouldn&#39;t have paid for a new car - barely more than a down payment.<br />Going to donate now.Jenny S-Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-36857146852813731302012-11-05T17:37:50.173-05:002012-11-05T17:37:50.173-05:00Done.Done.Liane Kupferberg Carterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07832590335988875870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-91320929174440167822012-11-05T17:00:37.368-05:002012-11-05T17:00:37.368-05:00Thank you for sharing.

Some car salespeople were not very honest about the situation, either. Just a warning to be careful and be sure to get a good, honest inspection of any car that you might be buying in the next couple of months. The issue was that the cars had been repaired to look cosmetically fine, but the saltwater had damaged the electronics and there was mold growing in hidden parts of the cars.
